Thank you for instilling some of your worldly wisdom in an ignorant, uneducated, sheltered man like myself. What do I know.

500 attacks a year is lowballing. Over the last 2 months there's been at least 60 attacks A DAY. Of course, not all of them are suicide bombings, but 60 a day x 365 days =~ 22,000 attacks a year. I'd suspect more than 2.3% of those 22k will be suicide bombers.
It'd be hard to see how they could sustain that level, but then I said the same thing when they were at around 40/day last year and it's just been increasing.
